METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season after he suffered a setback in his recovery from a broken fibula, Sean Payton confirmed Thursday.

Breaux had been designated to return from the injury, which he suffered in training camp, but an unspecified setback occurred less than two weeks into his return to practice.

It's disappointing news for the Saints and their former No. 1 cornerback, however the team should be able to absorb the loss with young starters Marshon Lattimore and Ken Crawley playing well. Lattimore, a rookie, has been one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL this season, and it's unclear if Breaux would have been able to make his way onto the field if he had been healthy.




Breaux, 28, is scheduled to become a restricted free agent next year. Payton said Thursday that his rehab is "going well" despite the unspecified setback, and the NFL Network reported last week that it was expected Breaux would need 3-6 weeks of recovery time.

feel bad for him because he's had a tough road to get here....but its clear we can't rely on him to be a part of our future plans

I agree with gyno who said in the offseason it was pointless to even count on him to be in the line up for more than a few weeks at a time.

He will now be tearing it up in the New Orleans bar scene. Sucks because he is a great player.

He lives in Mandeville and is married with a kid (or one close, I can't remember)

Dang sad to hear...

Luckily when speaking about the team im not sure i would mess with our current lineup one bit . He would have been nice to have for depth and certain dime packages .

Seems like he’s just injury prone like Armstead .
